It’s always super exciting to discover a new venue that completely blows your mind, and that’s pretty much what happened when Alix & Matt got married at Aynhoe Park. I mean, wow. A giraffe with balloons, polar bear with goggles, giant bunny sculptures, ornate chandeliers and a vintage fur selection in the ladies… check, check and check. Add a blisteringly hot day (for once!), some lovely lovely people and an outside ceremony, and I was pretty much in wedding heaven. And that’s just for starters!
To kick the day off, Alix and the girls got ready in one of the many rooms of Aynhoe with space on such a grand scale, filled to the brim with unique ideas. Shana Roberts was on hand for make-up and Aaron Carlo for hair. Alix then got into her gorgeous Monique Llhullier Cherish dress, slipped on her Rupert Sanderson heels, and promptly took everyone’s breath away. She looked so very stunning.
As far as the other providers of pretty and scrumptious for the day go, the stylish stationary was by Eva Slade, Vic Brotherson of Scarlet & Violet was in charge of the beautiful blooms, while Lotte Martin took care of the food. And it’s always a pleasure having Mark Brown along for the ride with his super 8 camera, it pretty much guarantees many tired giggle fits towards the end of the day (and a gorgeous film for the couple, of course!).
Thank you so much Alix & Matt for letting us capture your beautiful day for you, it was such a pleasure! I hope the honeymoon was everything you dreamed of, and more. x
It really is an amazing venue, and being able to hold the ceremony outside on a day like that was great. I particularly love the shot taken from the back with that amazing sky. Beautiful bride, lovely wedding.
The venue is certainly amazing but so are your photographs. I love them all. Beautifully taken and beautifully processed. What a talent you have.
I’m speechless. These are extraordinary. Absolutely stunning photography. Well done Marianne you’ve done an exceptional job here, they must be beside themselves with joy at these pictures.
Wow! Talk about serious wedding envy! Everything about this wedding is absolutely beautiful – the venue, the couple, the styling, the weather, the cake, the dress, even the guests! And as always your photographs capture it all with such love. Coming up to our two year anniversary and photos like this make me want to do it all over again – at Aynhoe Park! x
